fart on a friends head!!!
the savings in not having oil infested hands all the time. okay, maybe its not a savings, but you get the point. my hands have been dirty for 3 months now and i cant wait to keep them clean for just even a week. think about just reaching under there and opening the valve. no more on your back hassle. . . no more loosing the drain plug (or just the possibility). . . and no more hot hands from the oil. . . no more oil stained shirts that you didnt really want to get dirty. . . no more oil in your face. you dont even have to look for the socket and rachet to change the oil. . . so that means you cant loose that. this is a tool-less oil change device and i think its great!!! you could change your oil on the side of the road on day without even thinking about it. haha. maybe not that crazy, but i still think its nice.

do you guys really have that that much trouble removing the drain plug? then i guess this would be a great buy for you guys, btw fram has a similar device that's prolly cheaper.

I have one on a truck and honestly, it's totally worth it for the few bucks it costs. Let's face it, if you work with RX7s, anything that can make your life a tiny bit easier would help. I hop under the car, flip it open and go watch TV! Your hands aren't as dirty, and neither are your tools when you're making that last twist to remove the plug when the oil driblling out at you.

The one made by fram is crap. The hole is so tiny that it takes longer for the oil to drain. On top of that it can get clogged really easily, but considering we all change our oil before it turns nasty that probably wouldn't be a problem. The only thing I would be worried about on this setup is what if the valve accidentely opens on it's own while your driving. That could be really scary.
